Instructions
Place chilies in a bowl. In a small saucepan, heat oil over medium heat; green onions cook until they start to brown.
Add garlic; cook until golden.
Pour through a strainer over chilies; set chili oil aside to cool.
Remove green onion from strainer and discard. Finely chop garlic cloves and set aside.
In a large bowl add cold water to cover onions; let stand 20 minutes.
In a large pot of boiling water, blanch tomatoes 20 seconds; drain. Rinse under cold running water. Over a bowl, peel, core and seed them; finely chop tomato flesh and add to onions. Strain accumulated juices from bowl; add to tomatoes and onions.
In a small bowl stir together ginger, fish sauce and 2 tbsp (25 ml) water. Strain through a piece of cheesecloth over tomato-onion mixture, squeezing to extract juice. Stir in cucumber, peppers (if using), mint or coriander, lime juice and chili oil until well mixed. Season to taste with salt. Thin with water or tomato juice to desired consistency. Chill 30 minutes or until cool.
In dry frying pan over medium heat, toast dried chilies until darkened but not black.
Transfer chilies to a spice grinder (or mortar and pestle) and grind to a reasonably fine powder.
Garnish chilled gazpacho with lime wedges and herb leaves.
Serve with roasted chili powder for seasoning to taste.
